David Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, Jack Champion Set for Teen Horror ‘My Boyfriend Is a Demon’
Production has commenced in Rhode Island on the teen horror film My Boyfriend Is a Demon, and Deadline has revealed the cast.
Notably, it features Scream icon David Arquette, his sister Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction), and David’s daughter, Coco Arquette, along with Scream VI‘s Jack Champion.
The ensemble also includes Mattias Ferrell (son of Will Ferrell), Ever Anderson (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter), Bailey Sloan, influencer Vinnie Hacker, Josephine Reitman (daughter of Jason Reitman), Savannah Lee Smith (“Gossip Girl”), Lisa Yamada (“Cruel Summer”), and former NFL cornerback Ty Law.
My Boyfriend Is a Demon follows Mary, a lonely, small-town girl who, in an effort to gain the acceptance and friendship of her peers, creates a “finsta” account for a nonexistent, seemingly perfect guy, appearing to be her boyfriend. After apparently manifesting a little too hard, her new beau suddenly shows up at her door.
Mononymous writer-director mishka makes her feature debut on the project.
Chad A. Verdi, Chad Verdi Jr., Paul Luba, Michelle Verdi, and Sera Verdi are producing for Verdi Productions, with Ketchup Entertainment and Kinolime executive producing.
“This cast is a perfect balance of veterans from major studio franchises such as Scream and Avatar alongside exciting emerging talent poised to become the next generation of movie stars,” said Chad A. Verdi. “mishka’s script connects with young audiences in a way that feels fresh, authentic, and culturally relevant.”

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
